[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

When the six sons, Xing'er and the others were stuck in the room looking at the account books and were about to vomit, Jia Lian used the pretext of inspecting the shop and ran around the city with Tiger Dan'er. Although he was playing in essence, he himself was Not recognized.

And he felt that he had all the books in hand anyway, so he was not in a hurry to deal with those people for a while. It would be better if the time was delayed so that these people would think that he didn't care about things, and everything would be ready by then. Hands on, clean and tidy.

But he is not such a heartless master, every time he comes back from the outside, he will go to visit the hard-working six sons and three, and bring some delicious food and drink along the way, but unfortunately, they don't seem to appreciate it very much.

Xing'er and Long'er have been with the young master since childhood, and they dare not be as cautious in speaking as Liu Zi. After all, Liu Zi and the others have direct contact with the young master who is more unrestrained and has his own principles, so they speak relatively casually.

At this time, seeing the young master brought over a jar of wine and a roast goose, the six sons directly grimaced, "Master, I think it's more suitable for the three of us to eat grass, but I really don't have much appetite."

Jia Lian also knew that they had stayed in the house for the past few days and hadn't gone out. When he came in just now, he thought the room smelled unpleasant and stuffy, so he didn't close the door. It took a while for the wind to breathe. some.

At this time, he heard them say that he had no appetite, so he sat down by himself, tore a piece of meat, and said while eating: "When you have nothing to do during the day, move to the yard. Anyway, the young master and I are not here, so you can let Qingfu He Qimei will also help you, don't be so stubborn, otherwise you will really look like a goose that can only eat grass."

"Ah?" Xing'er scratched his already messy hair, and said speechlessly, "I thought these ledgers were so important, you are worried about being seen by others!"

"The really important ledger is with my young master." Jia Lian poured himself another glass of wine, blinked and asked innocently, "Didn't I tell you?"

Now the expressions of the six sons of Xing'er and Long'er were directly synchronized, and they all accused their master with expressionless eyes. Jia Lian, who was stared a little too much, stopped his drinking hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a slow smile: "Then it's not too late for me to tell you now?"

Long'er tugged at his sleeves, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't dare to say it too late!"

"I've heard it all! It's the young master who spoils you all. If it's another master, who would tolerate you being so modest." After glancing at Long'er, Jia Lian wiped her hands and stood up, saying, "Busy." Just for a while, if you do things well for me in the future, you will definitely not treat you badly, but if you do something wrong, the people who were sitting on boards all over the yard a few days ago are your seniors, hold yourselves tight, and don't go outside to cause trouble, you know ?"

Those who are slaves are familiar with such things as showing loyalty, so once the young master finished speaking, the three of them nodded with serious faces, and promised that they would definitely work harder.

Jia Lian nodded, and then said: "Xing'er, you and Qingfu watch closely in our yard, and Pingliu just pay a little attention, don't be too nervous, don't worry about things outside the yard."

Jia Lian didn't send Feihe back to Pingliu before, but the old lady sent someone to send Pingliu's deed of sale for him to handle.

Pingliu might indeed have had some desire to climb up before, but she is not as bold as Feihe, and she has been doing needlework honestly if the young master forbids her.Jia Lian saw that her embroidery work was really good and honest, so she stayed and continued to sew.

Xing'er and the others had a better impression of Pingliu than Feihe, so they nodded in response to the young master's words, "Understood, young master."

When Zhao'er came back the next day, Jia Lian suddenly remembered that there was another poor little boy who had been forgotten by him. After taking the bill he handed over, Jia Lian didn't think too much about it. Thousand 760 three taels?!"

"Yes, master, this is the price calculated by the master who restored the ancient books in the past few days."

Wocao, rounding up is 1 taels!There was no sympathy in an instant, what a pity, it was a devil who came to suck his blood!

But the settlement has to wait until the end, so Jia Lian felt a little less distressed when he thought that the money could be kept in his hands for a while, but he wanted to reward Zhao'er for his hard work, but he regretted it in his heart. Anyway, I will keep Zhaoer for the time being and don't know...

But even though he was reluctant, Jia Lian didn't plan to save the money, but stayed in the yard the next day and didn't go out, saving the expenses that would be spent going out that day to commemorate the money that was about to leave him.

Then the old lady specially sent someone over to ask him to go to his second uncle Jia Zheng to learn how to manage the common things of Rongguo Mansion.Jia Lian didn't like to go, but thinking that the second uncle should be more uncomfortable, he regained motivation.

It's just that the second uncle still didn't plan to teach him any practical things, and the outer study was full of subsets of classics and history, and there was nothing he could read.

And it was easy to admit that he was convinced, Jia Lian went directly to the old lady and said that he would never go to the second uncle's again no matter what.

Jia's mother hated Jia Lian for being so unmotivated. She pointed at him angrily and kept shaking his hands. As you can see, the old lady was kind to him.

Then he persuaded seriously: "Grandmother, my second uncle and aunt have been in charge of the mansion all these years, and nothing has gone wrong, so why not let big brother Zhu take over in the future? My grandson has no complaints at all. .”

When Jiamu heard this, she was just complaining, so she said with a bit of heartache: "Are you also blaming grandma for being biased? Did grandma not give the big family a chance? But what does your father look like?! Now you... "

When Jia Lian saw that the old lady had misunderstood her, she hurriedly explained dumbfoundingly: "My grandson is telling the truth. My grandson is extremely satisfied with his current life, but his ability is very limited. I really don't want to learn how to be a housekeeper."

"Then are you going to eat and wait to die? Just rely on the little dowry left by your biological mother?!"

Jia Lian wanted to say, where is this "something"?He hasn't sorted out the dowry left by his biological mother for so many days. Although there are indeed reasons for his own laziness, the amount is already huge for him. To worry about the mess in the Rongguo Mansion, then Aren't you looking for trouble and tiredness for yourself?He doesn't want it!

So Jia Lian spread his hands and nodded directly: "Grandson thinks it's enough."

"Then is your father willing?" The old lady turned cold. Jia Lian was unfamiliar with the Rongguo Mansion, which was more annoying than she knew that Jia Lian was not motivated. Old Slave Goulian?!"

Jia's mother seemed to be more and more kind these years, so she must be very angry when she said such words, but Jia Lian did not expect that his behavior would make his grandmother think that he wanted to fight for the Rongguo Mansion.But if that's the case, why did she let herself learn to be a housekeeper from her second uncle?

Just why, Jia Lian didn't even want to know. It is impossible for a person to live for others forever. He used to carry a burden on his back, although he was willing to carry it, but since fate gave him another chance, he naturally wanted to He had a more relaxed life, so he didn't want to care about anything that would endanger him.

Maybe he is selfish, but if he wants to live his life in style, he must ensure that the Rongguo Mansion will not be as miserable as before. There are still things to do, but the important task of guarding the Rongguo Mansion can only be entrusted to the healthy Jia Zhu. After all, if he hadn't died young, there would be no problem calling Rongguo Mansion "the model of the four generations".

So Jia Lian replied foolishly: "Grandmother has misunderstood grandson. Isn't grandson someone who is not around and wants to pick up some ready-made ones? Besides, grandson doesn't need to give the monthly payment."

Over the years, the old lady has been used to the housekeeper saying the same thing. Since Jia Lian said so, of course she wanted to show her satisfaction, but in the end she said blankly: "Don't regret it."

If Jia Lian hadn't gone through social training, maybe he would really regret it, but he is so stubborn now, of course it is how he lives as he is happy.

After he left, Jia's mother stayed alone for a while, and then announced again that Jia Lian didn't need to go to the second room for the time being, but everyone ignored the word "temporarily", thinking that the eldest room still didn't like the old lady.

Jia Zheng and his wife were the happiest about this matter, but they were happy in a different way. Jia Zheng did not have to face his nephew who made him panic, while Wang did it because of the Rongguo Mansion. right.

Jia Lian doesn't care about right and wrong in the mansion, anyway, no one dares to disrespect him now that something happened, he is now only concentrating on handling the dowry of his biological mother, and after half a month, the six sons and three people added the green woman who joined later Finally, the account book was finished and handed over to him.

The account book was almost perfect, and Jia Lian slowly figured out some problems after carefully comparing it with the account book he took from Jiang Nanny. Professional, maybe a hundred times better than now?

Those in charge may have been in the trial stage a few years ago, and the amount of corruption in the accounts was not large. Later, they might feel safe, and the accounts began to suffer serious losses year by year. Some of them were directly unable to make ends meet, but he When passing by, he obviously noticed that the business was good, but he really didn't believe that there were no ghosts.

And some of them, although they are greedy, are not too greedy, and they make more than half of their profits every year. Among them, a steward surnamed Shi is the cleanest. Jia Lian wants to meet those who are in the same boat as soon as possible.
